Robustness against mutations in genetic networks of yeast.

Abstract excerpt

There are two principal mechanisms that are responsible for the ability of an organism's physiological and developmental processes to compensate for mutations. In the first, genes have overlapping functions, and loss-of-function mutations in one gene will have little phenotypic effect if there are one or more additional genes with similar functions. The second mechanism has its origin in interactions between...
